why wii is a failure

[leftover_crack]

people want a video game system

when they buy a system they dont want something that u cant play 1 game for 6 hours

it is a party game system not a single player video game system

u cant play it for 20 minutes alone without getting bored

most hyped games would be better without motion capture (mainly ssbb)

still uses dvd format

shit 3rd party games

[P!ckoff]

And Wii's are selling like crazy, so in the words of my idol Stephen Colbert, The Market Has Spoken. And it says it is a success.

Leftover_Crack. SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. This was fun in the beginning, but now you're just being an ass.

1. You say people want a video game system? Well, that's exactly what they're getting. Sony and Microsoft cheated by adding DVD, Music, and other crap to their consoles. What do you think Nintendo is? A gaming company. That's all they do, and it's all they need to do.

2. Go play Metroid Prime 3. Or Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Or Mario Galaxy. Or Resident Evil 4. Or Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. Or Prince of Persia: Rival Swords. And, by the way, do you have a life? Because most people only get a few chances to play for 6 hours straight. Most only have time for 2-3 hours at the most. So what the fuck do you do in your spare time when you can't play?

3. So, in other words, you're saying that PS3 and Xbox 360 are only for anti-social cave-dwellers? Everything is more fun with more people. Otherwise, without multiplayer, 007 Goldeneye would suck and Halo wouldn't be anywhere near what it is.

4. Answered very clearly by #1. If you can't understand that then you can go to hell.

5. SSBB isn't even out yet. Also, you don't even have to use the motion stuff. SSBB supports several different control types, not to mention several different controllers. Besides, don't bullshit something that millions of people love. Why are wiis hard to come by, and why are they coming off shelves as soon as they appear there? Because people like the motion. People like being able to actually slash at your enemies, or control your view camera with your hand, or swing a tennis racket or punch someone's face or any of the other movement-involved additions to games.

6. Don't give a crap about it. Doesn't matter in the least.

7. Prince of Persia. Resident Evil. That's Ubisoft and Capcom. Oh, right, and Metal Gear Solid. Almost forgot about that. Konami.

Now shut up. I gave you leniency. I was light on you during our little war earlier. I let you say what you pleased, because you used to be in DK. Don't expect that in the future. DK is dead, after all.

Say another bullshit flame about the wii, and I will forever be there yelling at you in PMs and in any other way I can hurt you.

1.
A) i dont care about the other stuff i care about the games, online play, downloadable games from previous generations and downloadable content
wii isnt a video game system, its simulations, golf is more like the real thing, same with all the other sports games, thats not what people want when they buy a system they want a game that u can sit down and just play it not a daily exercise, if u are fat enough to rely on video games for exercise some thing is messed up

2.
A) motion capture causes the destruction of all games nintendo like (platformers), once again people just want to play a game with motion capture just equals complete failure
i wasnt saying i play 6 hours a day i was saying that i dont get bored of ps3 bvut i do get bored of wii after 20-30 minites of playing alone

3.
A)no im not but a game should be fun single player and multi player
shooters always have a sucky one player modes and are 99999999999x better for multi player

4. there is no hell

5. there are 3 or 4 stacks of like about 20 wiis sittling in a local gamestop for about 10 months so they are takin off the shelfs and put on the floor to make room for ps3 ps2 and xbox 360

6. its still using last generations technology, thats saying its more like ps2's competition than it is ps3's and xbox 360's

7. blue ray and hd-dvd = bigger levels, more interactivity, longer games and just more possibilities (i just listed the things u probably care about)
but blu ray has 2x + as much storage as hd-dvd

8. what is dk, dead kennedys or donkey kong?

go against wii again. Do not reply to this post. Do not say another word. You faced my wrath. And you have lost.

Where Sony went wrong
It's a sad coda for Ken Kutaragi, the creative genius behind Sony's videogame consoles. He's stepping down at a time when rival Nintendo is teaching its rival important lessons about consumers, writes Business 2.0's Chris Taylor.

(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- Pity poor Ken Kutaragi. The creative genius behind Sony's videogame consoles -- the PlayStations 1, 2 and 3 -- announced Thursday that he would step down as CEO of the company's games division, which means his career there will end on a sour note, the sound of defeat.

As noted in the latest issue of Business 2.0 Magazine, the eagerly-anticipated PlayStation 3 has already lost this round of the console wars to its Japanese rival, Nintendo's Wii (See "Why Wii Won," May). Since late last year, when both consoles were released, the Wii has consistently outsold the PS3 in every major market.


Sony's PS3 is packed with costly gee-whiz features that turned out to be a drawback to consumers faced with choices.

Nintendo's Wii simple, elegant design and low price are two reasons it's consistently outselling the PS3.

For Nintendo, the number 3 company in the videogames business, it's a David-vs.-Goliath turnaround. For Kutaragi's team, who ruled the roost of this industry for 12 years, it's a shameful final defeat.

"Father of PlayStation" says "Game over"
There are a number of lessons we can glean from this -- not just for the future of videogame consoles, but the future of consumer electronics. Decades from now, PS3 vs. Wii will be remembered as a cautionary business tale: how pride, politics, and an overabundance of technology can blind you to the simple truth of what consumers want.

Kutaragi chose to pack the PS3 with as powerful a technological punch as possible. It contains a 60 GB hard drive, a state-of-the-art graphics chip, and the ultimate electronic brain, the Cell processor. Developed by Sony (Charts), Toshiba and IBM (Charts, Fortune 500), the Cell is an amazing beast that can do seven tasks at the same time.

It also helped drive up the cost of the PS3 to $600, a near-record price for a console, and put Kutaragi's division in the red to the tune of $1.7 billion. The Wii cost just $250. (See corrections).

For all that innovation in the PS3, one thing didn't change: the controller, that handheld mess of buttons so confusing to non-gamers. Sure, Kutaragi made it work wirelessly, which has no doubt saved the world from a few broken ankles and smashed glasses, but the controller itself looks identical to the one found on the PS2.

Why change something that is already installed in 200 million homes worldwide? Answer: because there are more people in those homes that don't play games, and hundreds of millions more homes to win over.

Nintendo's answer to Ken Kutaragi -- Mario Bros. creator and games world legend Shigeru Miyamoto -- knew this better than most. That's why he designed a revolutionary controller that is sensitive to motion, not button-mashing. Everyone knows how to swing a golf club or a boxing glove in a Wii game. You just swing the controller.

More from Chris Taylor on his Future Boy blog
Over at Sony, Kutaragi was too busy thinking about how to push the company's other technologies. The PS3 was to create a vast installed base for Blu-Ray DVD, one of the rival formats in the ongoing high-definition DVD wars. All well and good if you're thinking about buying a PS3 as a DVD player, but gamers complained that the speed of the Blu-Ray drive was too slow when doing what drives in consoles are supposed to do: load games.

Indeed, the PS3 may be the chrome-trimmed headstone on the grave of convergence. It has been a long-held, oft-stated dream of both Sony and Microsoft (Charts, Fortune 500), creator of the Xbox and the Xbox 360, that videogame consoles are little Trojan horses.

You buy them for the games, but once inside your home, they take over your life. They become the brains of your TV, your entertainment center, even your main communications device with IP telephony and chat functions. They converge all your technological needs in one box. (Microsoft, at least, didn't assume that we would only want to use its technology in this converged device; it allowed you to plug in your iPod to the Xbox 360.)

Nintendo took a different tack. When you buy a videogame console, the company says, you want to play games. Period. A console is not a Swiss Army knife. It makes sense to squeeze more functionality into your cell phone because you carry that device around everywhere. When it comes to the interactive fun box in your living room, however, it makes sense to simply make that more fun. If you want a DVD player, you'll buy a DVD player.

The Wii may not be the most powerful console ever built, but it is the smallest and lightest. Its chip is not faster than Sony's cell, but it does use less electricity. In short, it looks more like the future.

As Ken Kutaragi moves into the next phase of his career at Sony, as the company's senior technology adviser, he would do well to play a few games on the Wii, and consider how the lessons of this device can help drag Sony away from an even greater defeat.

I told him to shut up and just stop at least 2 or 3 times now.
Besides, it isn't like he's just saying "I don't like the wii." Saying "the wii sucks" is a flame and an offense. I am simply defending that which is important to me.
